What tampons/pads do use if sensitive to main brands?

[sor3]

Since I had my first child, I am really sore when using pads and tampons (I have tried menstrual cup- and can't get on with) what do other people use? I have tried bodyform/ always etc

Anyone?

I tend to use kotex or plastfree (plastfree night time pads aren't so good though). The first few periods after having my DCs I found I was much more sensitive then usual so I used slim maternity towels for a while.

have you tried reusable pads though?
the material is less irritable and much nicer overall.

I made the change to reusable ones and it's been super, don't know if we're allowed to suggest suppliers on here?

I use reusable pads. There are lots of different materials to choose from. I have a selection of different ones.

Kotex for nights or if I’m away or reusable.
I get dermatitis often and can’t use moon cups and tampons.
Reusable are so soft and get less irritation I just need to order some longer ones as I find them quite short the ones I have.

I use reusable ones but if I really have to buy some, I use the cheapest ones like bodyform that don't have any plastic in. They are mainly cotton wool by the looks of it. Similar to maternity pads.
I can't stand plastic against my skin.

Supermarket own brand don't tend to be perfumed, whereas always makes me itchy. Reusable pants are great though, i used them for the last couple of years but my periods have now stopped due to the mirena coil

Reusable here too! And a cup

I also moved on to reusable after having DD as I found disposables uncomfortable and wish I'd done it sooner.
First I got a pack of cheap pads from amazon, I think it was a pack of 15 for about £20. Then I tried cheeky wipes period pants, Great on their own for lighter days or as backup on heavier days.

I just keep an opaque plastic box in the bathroom and rinse them in cold water then throw them in a large laundry bag. The air dry them. I thought they would be bulky and gross but they really aren't and I wouldn't go back to disposables now.

As an unexpected consequences I didn't need to panic about all the soldout Sanpro in the shops come lockdown and the panic buying.

Try reusable pads. I now only use tampons for the first couple if heavy days as although lilets are less irritating than others they still feel a bit blugh...

Reusables are so much more comfy . I'd recommend honor your flow or Tcs eco

Boots organic cotton pads

Natracare which you can buy online, from Waitrose or health food shops.

As PPs have said though washable pads are much more comfortable.

There were some natural materials daily pads at Holland and Barrett, the adhesive didn't irritate me but they tended to twist about a bit and not stick in place.

Thanks so much for everyone's suggestions- I will have a look at reusable pads! I struggle anyway as I have heavy period anyway!
